Has anyone ever hatched a Luna Moth?
My daughter found a Luna Moth Caterpillar and put it in a jar with leaves and twigs. it has spun its cocoon...about 3 days ago. I have read conflicting info on the internet as to how long they pupate for; some say 10-14 days, others say that they winter and will hatch next spring/summer. does anyone know first hand what the real time line is? Thanks!

It could be either. This isn't uncommon, but it usually depends on what time of year they have spun the cocoon - the later it is, the more likely they'll over-winter as a cocoon. If it's earlier, maybe it'll have the guts to break out sooner.
Though really you should go to a specialist forum and ask someone, if not, keep an eye on it for the next week or so, and time will surely tell.
